Entering Yellowstone National Park

My most memorable family vacation when I was young was 3-days spent in Yellowstone park when I was 12-years old. We were able to bring Ben here when he was 12 years old and he says that it was his most memorable family vacation. Charlcie and I are fortunate and so excited to spend some time here again - this visit with no schedule, so we are going to take upwards of two weeks here to take in as much as we can. If you've never been here, you need to make plans to come and spend at least a week fully enjoy this most magnificent park. Since there is very limited cell coverage and no wi-fi availability, contact with friends and family and postings to the blog will be sporadic, depending on where we are and if worthwhile to wonder outside the park. Today we are in the very cool town of West Yellowstone to take care of contacts, blog, showers, laundry, and to visit the four famous fly-shops(?). First moose sightings - two cows just inside the park Fall colors are arriving The bull is just out of the picture, napping in the shade This guy and his harem are wondering around in our campground area - they are in rut so it is wise to be alert and keep your distance Watched this fella for awhile and couldn't figure if he was eating the tree or just scratching his neck At Mammoth Springs; when you're hungry, who cares if you have to stop traffic?
